    uh what? airline flights from Cali into Colorado aren't worth it just for this little one day event.

    wait for a multi day reason to stay- like RMAF or BBQ weekend at @MisterRogers house, or when @Koth Ganesh visits and we eat and drink for a week straight.

    Oh! A meet! Can I go? I promise not to pee on the power amps this time.

    (However, I make no promises about the safety of your Chihuahuas, mental or physical.)

    seriously tho, since it's not a private club and the room is at a state (tax) funded Public Library- anyone wanting to walk in can not be denied attendance.

    IMO yes. it's a open meet, not some corporate bought out CanJam.
    be cool and portray SBAF in a positive light.

    I'll see if I can make it out and bring the BW2. If not, I'll loan it to @jexby to bring.

    Yes, I was joking. everyone is welcome, as long as they keep it in their pants and don't pee on anything or anybody.

    I would love to compare the Taurus Mk II to a BW2. Hope you can make it.

    It's not a competition. The BW2 walks this one, ESP if you're using a modded HD6XX or modded HD800.

    I'll bring my laptop, Bifrost Multibit, Eikon / Ori, Wells Milo, E-Mu Teak, and possibly a few other misc things. Anyone want to fiddle with the Saga?

    I'm still planning on attending the meet in Denver. I have a wolf ear makoyi loaner with all sort of tubes. I've asked if I can keep it for an extra week and bring it to the meet. Any interest?

    Oh, I am going to sell the following. Please let me know if anyone in the Denver area is interested, and I will bring it.

    beyerdynamic T1, re-terminated to balanced 4-pin XLR. Can re-re-terminate back to 1/4” on request, or can include an adapter for $20
    $400

    4 way RCA switch: Works well, but I decided to make a way over engineered “audiophile” switch for 10 times more and exactly the same functionality. :)
    $10

    Auralic Taurus Mk II:
    $900
    Amp works really well, but I decided to go the tube amp route.
    I’m not the first owner. Prior owner put a few surface scratches on the side, but the front is is great shape. Even the side is fine, unless you look at it closely under a lot of light.

    Bottlehead Crack with a few lesser tubes and an excellent set of higher end tubes.
    $500
    Some wiring upgraded to shielded wire.
    Pot upgraded to Alps blue velvet pot
    Knob upgraded to heavy black aluminum knob
    Mullard ECC82/12AU7 (Blackburn, Great Britain, code Gf1 84D2), Catham (Tung-sol) 6080
    Stock 12AU7, plus a misc, but working, output tube.
    Also an RCA 6AS7G vacuum tube - top getter - black plate output tube

    HD650, fully modded. Dynamat, cage removed, quarter mod, foam removed. Comes with the stock cable re-terminated balanced and a balanced to 1/4” adapter. I can re-re-terminate it to 1/4” if you would like. Also comes with a CaseBudi hard case.
    $200

    Balanced Cable For Sennheiser HD580 HD600 HD650 Headphones. Looks like it was made by Venus Audio from Mogami 2534 quad cable.
    $25

    Prices at the meet will all be lower since I don't have to ship - and additionally lower for friends. I'm not setting up a sale table. I won't bring this stuff unless there is interest.
